Hi Vincent,

example:
SOS 11/99 downloads from my webpage:
1.145 !!

Firms must be happy if this = 0.001% :-)
1.145 = 0.001% Christophe Thereon can make holiday the long year in Guadeloupe
on the strand :-))

Furthermore, where you can find more results/webpages?
WinBoard or any other commercial GUIs/Engines?

Why you can play now with 90% of all commercial GUIs with WinBoard engines?
Thinking about this befor you write here, maybe a little bit better, better for
other people which must read your "in German ... Quatsch" !

Best
Frank
